9 Months to Tri

Yeah, I know I’m supposed to be posting video soon, but this was a bit quicker and looked fun. Besides, I’m totally swamped with work, so it might be a few days before I can get to editing the footage. Also, these shots weren’t taken by us, they were taken by the man […]

7:40 - Hauled myself out of bed. I’m working on a banana and some walnuts right now. I’ve still got about 2 hours before the race starts. In all honesty, I have to idea how this is going to go. I have no idea what to expect. I MIGHT see someone […]

So, you all might know that I ran the 2 mile course the day before yesterday. I hadn’t ‘ran’ for almost a month before that, though I’d been on the stationary bike and the elliptical machine whenever I got to the gym and for cardio days I have been hitting the swimming pool, so […]

So, I spent the whole day at an off-site location for some training. The whole day was a predefined schedule with only 45 minutes for lunch. The next two days will be similar. Still haven’t made it into the gym to weigh-in this week, but I suppose missing one week won’t matter in the grand […]

Very interesting developments. I’ve painted myself into a corner.
See, I’ve got off-site training for work for the next three days, and I completely failed to plan for this. Its not far, so I won’t be spending a lot of time on the road, but its also not in a location where I can change and […]

Well, its almost 5pm on a chilly but definitely spring Saturday afternoon. This week has been a real mixed bag. I think I’ve only worked out once. Monday was the doctor’s, and Tuesday belonged to the MRI technicians. Wednesday I did cardio at the gym and weighed in. Thursday was stolen from me by a […]

Lots to tell, but not much to say, really. Its Tuesday night, March 18th. Monday should have been my 6 Month weigh-in, but it hasn’t happened yet.
I got to the pool on Friday, but haven’t been to the gym or a pool since. I didn’t realize it, really, until I just typed […]

So, since my manager, Brett, left to pursue his new career, I’ve had to step up quite a bit at work. Not that I mind, really, but all of the meetings that he used to go to I’m now attending. Generally, this wouldn’t be a real problem, but we’re sprinting at work to get the […]

OK. Probably not REALLY more painful than childbirth since my wife had an epidural, but she says she was in more pain this last week than she was just before she had the epidural. So, my wife had/has an infection which has been playing havoc with my schedule. I’m not complaining, just sayin’. Its pretty […]

So, as expected, yesterday was a whirlwind of meetings and it totally threw my lunch and workout schedule out of whack. Instead of hitting the gym before lunch, I ended up going at about 3pm and returned to work at 5pm with a Subway sandwich in hand for a late meeting. Between lack of sleep […]
